Wow. What a soundtrack. The majority of the soundtrack is performed by Simon and Garfunkel, and it fits the plot, characters and setting incredibly well. Songs like "The Sound of Silence" and "Mrs. Robinson" are used several times in different moods and fashions that fit various scenes. The sound of silence is generally used for softer, more somber, sadder scenes. Mrs. Robinson is usually used for faster, more upbeat signs and the like. Scarborough Fair is also used selectively, as a bit of a transitional piece to the latter half of the movie. It's used as a piece to represent the moving on of the plot and maturing of the characters.
Also, Mrs. Robinson sold a metric butt-ton, and beat out The Beatles "White Album," so that's impressive.
